If you’re planning on hopping off for an Easter holiday this long weekend, don’t forget to pack the choccy eggs and hot cross buns.
To discourage any unwelcome visitors while you’re away (Easter bunny excluded of course), remember the following:
Lock all windows and doors
Bring in your bins or get someone else to
Collect any mail, newspapers or magazines from the curb
Ask your friends, family or neighbours to keep an eye on your place
Consider installing timed smart lights, CCTV cameras or an alarm system
Register your absence from home online to let police know you’ll be away. Victoria Police use this information to contact you, or your emergency contact should there be an incident at your home while you’re away.
To let police know you’ll be away, complete a form online at go.vic.gov.au/41qaCfR.
